You better watch outYou better not cryYou better not poutI'm tellin' you whySanta Claus is comin' to town

He's makin' a listCheckin' it twiceGonna find out who's naughty or niceSanta Claus is comin' to town

He sees you when you're sleepin'He knows when you're awakeHe knows if you've been bad or goodSo be good for goodness sake!

You better watch outYou better not cryYou better not poutI'm tellin' you whySanta Claus is comin' to town... To town --

Over thereSanta Claus is comin' so be preparedDon't you cry or worry go and get your stocking hungEvery little thing to do is doneSanta's list of toys is gone the tree the cueAnd don't forget to brushEvery little one'Cause soon as your sleepin'Teeth police will come checkin' to see if every pearl is glistenin'Don't be missin' any spot or they'll tattle-tale ans Santa he won't come

You're dealin' with toyland springsWhen he brings the season joy with toys and thingsBut if you go dancin' Samba through the nightBe warned, bewareOr else you'll scare the hair off of Rudolph and he'll fly from hereThat's a fact and then you'll cry and rave and wish that you'd behavedSo heed this warning before morning comes upon youGo to sleep and goodnight!

(Piano solo)

All the boys and girls dream of Toyland,Wish that the snowman soon would playAnd they are sure to get their wishes metWhen they hear the words we say...

You better watch outYou better not cryYou better not poutI'm tellin' you whySanta Claus is comin'Santa Claus is comin'Santa Claus is comin' to townTo town!To town!Look out old Santa is back - yeah!
